Details

I tried to hook-up my semi-official M11 Solaris SPARC build with MathML enabled
but failed due cc/gcc errors.
Therefore I filed this bug, Severty=BLOCKER that (hopefully) M12 can be shipped
with MathML enabled.
Roland: Could you attach some more info, like the compiler's error log? It
would help us to work out what is going wrong so that we can fix it! Thanks.
OK, below comes the last lines of the (failed) build:
sources=M11 release
gcc=2.95.1
OS=SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
configure_opts=--x-includes=/usr/dt/include --x-libraries=/usr/dt/lib
--enable-x11-shm --enable-optimize --enable-mathml --with-extensions
--disable-debug

Other infos on request, otherwise the bug-log will overflow =:-)

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The first reported error:
../../../../../layout/mathml/base/src/nsMathMLChar.h:53: parse error before `&'
../../../../../layout/mathml/base/src/nsMathMLChar.h:55: `aReflowMetrics' was
not declared in this scope

looks like the problem is due to changes that were in layout at the time.
There was a thread on m.p.m.mathml to this effect.

MathML is currently known to compile on Win32 and Linux. Try building the
tip of the tree, and we can track and fix things that the Sun Compiler
doesn't like.

BTW, keeping this bug open could help to track that MathML will compile
with M12, if of course, you keep trying to compile the tip from your end...

Do you aggree that this should be a M12 blocker ?

----

Small vocabulary question: WHat do you mean with "tip" ?

----

The compiler is gcc 2.95.1, which should throw nearly the same errors on the
Linux platform (except code parts modified by system headers or special Sun code
in MathML).

----

Accessing the Mozilla newsgroups is a pain (impossible !?) for me, it needs 12
minutes to load the index, and 2 mins. per article :-(
> Do you aggree that this should be a M12 blocker ?

Notice that MathML is not part of the default build (yet). So in principle,
it is not a M12 blocker. But it is a non-M12 blocker on your platform, given
that it is preventing you to do MathML testing on Solaris. It can remain
a blocker without assigning/comitting a milestone.

> Small vocabulary question: WHat do you mean with "tip" ?

The tip is the *very latest* code from the CVS repository. To convert a
milestone build to the tip of the CVS tree, see the bottom of the page
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html

Good reason then to try to compile the tip (i.e., latest code) to see what
is happening.
Is it possible that someone files me a mail that I can test/compile the code on
Solaris shortly  _before_ the tree gets closed ?

----

I grabbed the recent "nightly" tarball, maybe MathML works with it...
How are things going?

To avoid the slow access to newsgroup as you described previously, you can
subscribe to the mailing list that mirrors the newsgroup. You will get all
postings in your mailbox in real-time. All Mozilla newsgroups have equivalent
mailing-lists. Postings sent to the mailing-list automatically appear on the
newsgroup and vice-versa.

For details on how to subscribe to the MathML mailing-list, see the link
at the bottom of the MathML page: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/
> How are things going?
I'm _very_ tired, need some sleep... :-)

The MathML build based on the 19991118 source tarball compiled without any
problems and works like a charm.
Thanks for the hint.

1. We should thnk about a way to _VERYIFY_ that MathML can be build with M12
2. There aren't any MathML example pages in the "Help/Viewer Demos menu"...

Questions:
- What happens if I cut&paste MathML (BTW: Solaris 2.7 has a en_US.UTF-8 locale,
e.g. a _real_ unicode locale), e.g. Clipboard ?
- What about MathML printing ?
